The New Mithraeum

During excavations in the area of the former Roman provincial capital of Virunum in 1992, the most spectacular find was a bronze building inscription for a Mithras temple restored around 183/184 AD, on which 98 members of the cult community were subsequently recorded by name. This inscription is the largest Roman bronze inscription panel in Austria to date.
